The Mayor’s Report is back – informing the residents of St. Catharines about events, news and business in #OurHomeSTC.

Congratulations to all of the newly elected councillors and to all of the candidates who ran in the municipal election. On behalf of City Council and all of the candidates, I’d like to say thank you to City staff for your support in administering the election in such a professional manner. Thank you to all of voters who engaged in local democracy. I look forward to continuing to work with Council and staff to advance our strategic plan and priorities in the next term.

Thank you to all of the residents who joined us for the Telephone Town Hall. It was great way to connect with so many of you, hear your questions and get some valuable feedback on the city budget. You can review the draft 2019 city budget online and share your comments to the budget committee by attending a public open house or by emailing budget@stcatharines.ca

Yesterday was Remembrance Day, and the 100th anniversary of the ending of the Great War. Thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion for organizing yesterday’s Remembrance Day services. Thank you to each of the local legion branches for hosting ceremonies and dinners across the city – to honour our veterans.
